TASK #3: Surviving the War and the Holocaust.

Though there is now evidence that the Holocaust began in 1933, most of the world didn't find out about its horror until 1941--already two years after World War II had begun. The Holocaust is noted to have officially "ended", however, at the time that WWII ended.
